Short But Sweet

The next 2 months was a complete blur for me, except for these main things…
1. I finally had the strength to get out of my mom's house.
2. I moved in with my cousin and started smoking pot with him (It became my life so, I became a pothead.), it didn't last long though because his girlfriend at the time was insane and started treating me like garbage. I didn't want to cause trouble so I left to stay with a friend. Which only lasted for about 4 days (Having 3 adults and 3 children under the age of 7 in 1 apartment could only last for so long.).
3. That same friend soon realized that I needed more than she could give me so she brought me to a church, a church that helps the drug addict, the prostitute and, the gang member.
When I walked into the door of the churches womens home…
I felt nothing but pure, untainted, godly love.
My siblings and I still have no relationship to this day and I'm okay with that. That might sound sad but it doesn't hurt me anymore. (God gave me peace with it and I will always be around for them to talk and pray with them.)
God gave heard my prayer and he answered it. He gave me 3 older sisters that love me unconditionally. Aside from my papa, I never felt that kind of love for any point of time for too long. It was so new for me I thought it was some kind of a trick. I honestly don't know what I would do or be like without them. They've taught me so much in these almost 8 years. That's right, almost 8 years clean of pot and the medicine my mother had me on!!! Now I only take allergy medicine. I am so ecstatic you all have absolutely no idea how much.
Since I gave my life to Christ, me and her are still working on our relationship. I'm still hopeful that it will be fixed. She's even asked for forgiveness for everything she did to me and put me through. I forgive her but, I pray that one day she will have the strength to run to Jesus and forgive herself. I also pray that she will one day fully surrender her life to God. God has promised the restoration of my family after all. He has that for everyone who ask him.
I thank God for my sisters everyday. (I'll tell you about them one day I promise.) I don't know what I would've done if I didn't have them.
Especially for what happened next with my father…
